Franklin Jonas & the Byzantines to Perform at the Annual Stars & Stripes Event

June 11th, 2026

We’re celebrating America’s 250th birthday and Colorado’s 150th with Stars & Stripes, our annual pre-Independence Day celebration at Riverdale Regional Park. This free, family-friendly event is packed with live music, food and beverage vendors, and a spectacular fireworks display to end the evening.

This year’s featured performer is Franklin Jonas & the Byzantines, bringing their signature blend of Americana, folk-rock, and modern storytelling to the Stars & Stripes stage. Known for energetic live performances and heartfelt songwriting, the band will headline an evening of music and celebration.

“We’re so excited for this year’s Stars & Stripes because it’s an incredible opportunity for our community to come together, connect with their neighbors, share in tradition, and celebrate Independence Day in a safe, fun setting,” said Commissioner Julie Duran Mullica, Chair of the BoCC. “This year is especially meaningful as we celebrate both America’s 250th birthday and Colorado’s 150th anniversary. We invite everyone to join us for a free evening of joy; reflection on the people, stories, and values that have shaped our community; and of course, fireworks and live music.”

Visitors can enjoy a wide variety of food vendors at the event including long-time favorites and exciting new cuisines from local businesses.

For everyone’s safety and enjoyment, guests are kindly asked to leave pets at home, as fireworks and large crowds can be distressing to animals. Personal fireworks are not allowed, and outside alcohol and glass bottles are prohibited. Most fireworks are illegal in Adams County, so please enjoy the professional show safely and responsibly.

Road Closure Notice: 124th Avenue will be closed from Brighton Road to Riverdale Road beginning at noon on Friday, July 3. Residents and visitors should access Riverdale Regional Park via Park Boulevard off 120th Avenue. 124th Avenue will reopen after the fireworks show.
